It’s hard to imagine a time when The Weeknd wasn’t always one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Nowadays, he’s always extremely visible.

In a public announcement, bassist Robert DeLeo admitted that frontman Scott Weiland was “under doctors’ care in a medical facility.” Weiland’s drug addiction had him in and out of rehab for years before his death in 2015. He struggled primarily with heroin use, then alcohol and cocaine near […]
